The F-84F is at MAPS Air Museum. Not sure where anything else has gone.

I don't want to turn this into another Soplata thread, but I am trying to track the the airframes as they move off site here...
ImageAerial Visuals - Location Dossier - Walter Soplata Aviation Collection
...by moving the aircraft on the top half of the list to the bottom half. If anyone hears about updates please contribute that update info by using the forms on the site. This is intended to be a cooperative project.

I spoke with a source close to the collection who stated that there are no plans (as of yet) to do anything with the collection. :(
